If you know someone with cancer, read this post from pastor David Wayne who is battling cancer.
I’ve tried to cut down on the cancer posts a bit. Cancer tends to dominate your life once you have it and one way of not letting it not dominate your life is to talk about other things so I’ve been back on some of the other stuff lately. But I came across a post from David Darlington over at In The Agora today that I needed to share.
David is also dealing with cancer and, like most everyone with cancer I suppose, is also dealing with a steady stream of friends offering miracle cures. It would have taken me thousands of words to say what he said here succinctly. He has given me permission to reprint this post so please read this and carefully consider his words if you know someone who has cancer or some other serious illness.
Greetings! I hope this letter finds you well. I’m dropping you a quick note today to express my appreciation for all you’ve done for me during my cancer trial this past year. Your love and support means more than I can express in words, and your actions have lifted me up in my time of need.
But if I may be so bold, there is has been one area where your assistance has been more of a distraction than an aid. I am speaking of your passing along of miracle cures and alternative therapies you’ve heard about or read on the internet. . .
The rest here.
Yep. We’ve walked that path. They come out of the woodwork with all kinds of juices and magnets.
